Yep, I get them all the time! Can't really describe them well but they are very strange. They seem to depend on my moods - there's one 'dark purple' smell I've been getting on and off since I was a kid when something exciting is about to happen. It smells a bit like that women's perfume from the 80's, 'Poison' I think. I tend to get bad smells when I'm irritable and depressed. I also hear phantom noises with my 'mental ears' from time to time. I think it has something to do with being on the autistic spectrum , maybe a synesthesia of some kind?
I suppose you could go so far as to call it Schizophrenia if you were so inclined if it weren't for the fact I'm aware they are figments of my imagination. Do you get this often?
